Levest pill and acne

Went on this pill to try and ease my intense cramps, but it made my periods much much heavier and I’m not sure its worth it.

I was a very rare case, unknown to me I was Liver Adenomas growing inside my liver, 8 of them. I would’ve never have known this until October 2022 I went to a&e in severe stomach pain. After many tests & investigations they told me o have 8 tumours in my liver called Adenomas caused by the contraceptive pill. I had to stop taking it immediately. 2 operations later 2 large tumours have gone. 6 remain I am still having tests for in hope they don’t grow. I have been off the pill 6 months now & this months period was unbearable, I am unsure if it is liver related or the pill like leaving my body but I cannot cope with that every month if it stays. I was on the pill for around 15 years, although my condition is rare I never knew it was even possible and my life has completely changed from birth control. I wanted to share my story so more people could know.

This was the first ever pill I went on. I was on it for around 18 months and I must add that I didn't notice any negative side effects for about 10 months, but that might be because it was my first pill experience. After 10 months I started noticing my skin getting worse every time I had my pill break. My sex drive suddenly depleted entirely, and I didn't even want to think about sex. My worst symptom by far was vaginal dryness. Sex started to become very painful and it caused severe itching- I'd be waking up in the middle of the night because I was so itchy. Sometimes it was even uncomfortable to walk. I assumed it was because I was shaving and waxing, yet only recently pieced it together that it was the pill and other users reported the exact same symptoms as me. I went to my GP and swapped to Lucette, so far there's no change- but it might take a while to get used to it.
